A Game Client is a software application that allows players to connect to a game server and participate in online gaming. It serves as the interface through which players interact with the game world, manage their accounts, and access various features. Game clients can be standalone applications or integrated into web browsers, depending on the game. Typically, a game client downloads and installs game data, updates, and patches to ensure optimal performance. It also handles user input, graphics rendering, and network communication with the game server, enabling real-time gameplay. Popular examples of game clients include Steam, Epic Games Store, and Battle.net.
